Several times each week I am viiitod by thore who. for reaon of their own. can not marry at home, or decline to do o on th ground of objecting1 to what they consider the old style, com monplace, milk-and-water nuptial celebration. I have married all clasre of people, from the children of j the weal talent jmronts to the offspring of the indiirent. Well, sir, after two year practice I will call it practice. s there was something lepal about it I decided, that the Adams and Eves were all alike on their woddinjr day: that I could adopt one method of treatment for the rkh and poor; that I need only utat one formula of gntall talk for the occasion. Thus I have saved myself a heap of trouble, and now get through each ceremony with the same nonchalance that the surgeon showa in probing a trivial wound. Now, I'll tell you my method.' which a nearly poMsibie ta always the same. Suppose I am sitting in my library reading after dinner, and that I have enjoyed my repast so much that I begin to iIojw- I don't say that it h invariably the caw. But suppose it. The suppose I awake at the sound of voices beneath my window, and hear some soch conversation a this: 'King the bell, dear, from a man. "Oh, John, I don't like to. He! he'. You ring it, love, he! he! Oh, I'm getting so nervous I feel though I should faint.' Ndless to say tins convex from the bride. " Vell, don't let us stand out here all night catching cold. I'll ring it' from another man, very matter-of-fact tone. " -Now, he's rung It We're in for it He! he!' from the bride again. "Well, this doe not enue me the least worriment I am so completely accustomed to It that I can not remember the time such talk wa a novelty to me. I try to resume my doae while awaiting development. They 00m a Tery rapidly. Tbe housemaid, a vet--eraa 1r. the buUese herself she has been with me for the pnt five years appears and, parrot-like, repeat the trntula In a tnbdned whhtpor:

At the end of, say ten minute. I descend the stairway to the tune of an ominous creaking, and enter with all the frigid aUwfikr I chu call tu hr aiiistance. I neaitr always find thV bride in my v - arm-chair away from lh rest, with her eyes fattened on the caoet. l"n bridejrroom is trymg to look ae though he had bea nmrred daily 'for the mt twenty vear, and ie forcing a x drained, jocumr conversation with th.j wits.

I think I can t'ue to wimt I am indbtel for the honor of this visit." Th bride bluhe and coyly focuses Her eyes on another figure in the carpet, the witneee look at each other nd titter, and bridegroom rise" and ulpoU; W well, er r the fact U, doctor Ier that U to say this lady oh, I meant both o of uo together, of course want erer get married." It's oat aad the poor fellow feol better. I then sternly eyo both of them, a though 1 would read their imwwt sH-ret. Then I eaee the strain by affably saying: So that's it. hi it? Well, you might do worse, young people.' I then assure them that marriage (that it, wise one) ar made li heaven. Thw sertiment in aa a rule to 'nave the unqimiittel indorsement of the contracting parties. Then turning to the hfidegrootn: 'Now. air. a word with you. Let us step into the next rooai.' The bride pouts at this and ask if she can not accompany Uf. I refuse and she goe on pouting. I obtain the uual details fro the young fellow J ..ml we return. Then the ceremony projier begins. ow.

Miss Smith, please sign your maiden name for the last tlaiej' That makes her m aecvoWthat in Jthe majority of cases she tatterHt.tlte ink all over the table. It's pretty nearly a bad with the bridegroom; but the witnesses enjoy It. It's human nature to put our names on record when it doesn't cost any thing. Then the ceremony proper and the fttn commences. 'John, please tell him to be as quick 1 a; he can If the Indv knew that I nm as aruciott to return to ray fHedy as- she is to start on her bridal trip, .she would not make the injunction. The awkwardness of bride and bridegroom is phenomenal. When I say Let tho lady htand at the gentleman's left,' it usually takes them a minute to determine which is their right and left hand, and I have literally to push them to their proper plaees. When I have finished and any to the man: .lake your bride,' he continues to atuuMlv.gize ,ahead with .a fixedly strained look, holding hoc hand I with ridiculous energy. I have to break the spell by gently remarking: 'That is all, my young friends. You? are now man and wife.' "1 then turn, to the bride and say: Now I suppose.
